New Mercedes A-class with new diesel engine options

Mercedes-Benz has just added two new engines to the line-up of its new hatchback, and interestingly both are diesels. With the two engines “options”, the A200 Sport and A220d AMG Line. The A 200d is available in both Sport and AMG Line trim, with the A220d only available in the latter.

The A200d makes 148bhp and 236lb ft from its 2.0-litre block, and returns up to 67.3mpg in fuel efficiency. Top speed is a limited 137mph, and you’ll get from 0-62mph in just 8.1 seconds.

The A220d also uses a 2.0-litre engine but squeezes out 187bhp and 295lb ft of torque, and you get fuel consumption of 65.7mpg. It’ll do 0-62mph in just 7.0 seconds, and has a slightly faster, 146mph limited top speed.

Both models will come with an eight-speed DCT automatic transmission and everything from the MBUX digital touchscreen and voice-operated infotainment, to semi-autonomous functions and keyless-entry comes as standard with the Sport trim.

AMG-line customers also get 18-inch alloys, a diamond grille, and AMG styling inside and out.

New Mercedes A-Class

Featuring all-new styling on the outside, the new Mercedes’ interior sees the biggest changes.

Everything has changed; the 2018 A-Class has a new face, great new interior and fresh petrol and diesel engines.

New Mercedes A-Class: interior

The inside of the entry-level Benz resembles that of an S-Class more than ever. Mercedes is making bold claims about the tech on board, and it’s the car’s biggest, most appealing feature to mark it out against its rivals.

The cabin in top-spec models is dominated by two large 10.25-inch screens that sit in line with the divide between the dashboard’s two horizontal sections. Gone is the rotary knob controlling the central infotainment display, instead replaced by a large touchpad and leather pad for the operator’s wrist.

Even the steering wheel has been lifted from an S-Class, featuring the same design and button arrangement of Merc’s most expensive limousine.
